Description

The NOX AT10 Pro Cup Hard 2026 is built on the same mould Agustín Tapia used on the professional tour in 2025, updated for 2026 with the latest NOX technologies and made available to advanced club and competition players who want pro-level performance without the extreme demands of a full-carbon tour racket. Firm, explosive, and aerodynamically refined, the AT10 Pro Cup Hard is the power version of the AT10 Pro Cup range: a teardrop racket that combines hard-touch responsiveness with precise control, spin generation, and exceptional arm comfort through the Pulse System.

The AT10 Pro Cup Hard is built for players who attack with conviction. The HR3 Hard core delivers a crisp, direct, explosive response on every contact, you feel exactly where the ball hit and how it left the face. Combined with the aluminised fibreglass surface and EOS Flap aerodynamics, this racket rewards clean technique with fast, decisive ball output that puts opponents under immediate pressure.

This is not a racket designed to look like a pro model. It is built on the same structural foundation Tapia used to win at the highest level, updated for 2026 with the EOS Flap and Pulse System. When you play with the AT10 Pro Cup Hard, you play with the DNA of the best racket on the AT10 mould.

Technology

Aluminised Fibreglass face (metallic finish), a fibreglass weave with an aluminised metallic coating that increases face reactivity and provides faster, more powerful ball output compared to standard fibreglass. More flexible than carbon for a forgiving, comfortable feel, but with the added responsiveness of the metallic treatment.

HR3 Hard EVA core, a high-density, hard-touch EVA rubber core that delivers explosive, direct ball response with maximum control. Provides crisp, precise feedback on every contact, ideal for players who want to feel exactly where the ball hit and control its direction with surgical accuracy.

EOS Flap, side perforations strategically placed in the frame to reduce air resistance during the swing, optimise weight distribution for better balance, and deliver a faster, more aerodynamic racket head speed. Unique to the AT10 range, not present on the Equation series.

Pulse System, lateral rubber inserts that run from the base of the carbon frame to the bottom of the butt cap, absorbing vibrations transmitted to the player's hand on every contact. Provides a noticeably smoother, more arm-friendly feel during intensive sessions, particularly effective on off-centre contacts where vibration is highest.

Dynamic Composite Structure (DCS), frame material extended four centimetres into the face surface, eliminating the hardness transition between frame and hitting zone. Reduces risk of fibre breakage on edge contacts and improves overall racket durability under competitive use.

Exclusive Spin, a dual-texture surface finish combining a 3D hexagonal pattern in the central face zone with a sandblasted rough finish across the surrounding area. Maximises ball friction and grip for heavy spin on lobs, vibroras, slice returns, and topspin drives.

Carbon Frame100% carbon fibre frame construction providing exceptional rigidity, torsional resistance, and long-term structural durability across intensive competitive use.
